Stale Popcorn in this incarnation no longer exists. To experience all that I am offering (...oh dear) head on over to the new Stale Popcorn.

I don't like Jonathan Rhys Meyers

I don't like Jonathan Rhys Meyers. Sorry. But it's true. I was never a big fan of his, but upon a recent rewatching of the otherwise awesome Woody Allen film Match Point I decided that no, I do not like him. I don't think he's particularly good looking (too... feminine, I think), and I really hate his voice (definitely too feminine) and I don't think he's a good actor (in Match Point he seems like he doesn't have a clue what he's doing). I liked him in Velvet Goldmine, but that's because it played up to his androgynous features.

Now comes word that he's heading to rehab ("I say No! No! No!" I love that song) and I make a big ol' yawn. It seems like people are just going to rehab these days for something to do on the weekend. Especially considering they only seem to stay their for a few weeks. Anyway. I just wanted to say that I don't like Jonathan and be done with it. The End.

I've only seen him in one thing, Match Point, and I'm proud to say he's a JMC nominee. Not a medalist, but I thought he was excellent. Just the right amount of pretentious douchebag. And everyone is going to rehab, it's no surprise. The only one who's not is Amy Winehouse (hehehehe...)

Stale Popcorn, noun, 1. A veritable cornucopia of movie geekdom, celebrity worship, Australian film discussion and all with occasional musical interludes! All wrapped up in the salty buttery taste of movie popcorn that's been sitting in the box for too long. What's not to love?
